(I haven't > read the paper, but I have worked on improving our portal FS already) Well, all I've seen is what I've seen in the manpage and sources. I did not actually test it, but I think one needs the ability to add more than /p/ip and /p/unix (whatever they are named.) I'd like to use it as a clone of Atria MVFS and ClearAudit. Naturally, my portal daemon will have to do that, somehow. Since I did not test it, do the portals work, and from which OS version onwards? > > > This leads to another point.
